All about snus and salt!

[Guest]

The Swedes tend to go for salty rather than sweet.

The saltiness does vary from brand to brand though. Maybe try a brand aimed at the US market like Gots Classic Strong or something in the Thunder/V2 lines.

what does loose snus taste like?

Salty :^D

Lös seems to have a touch less noticeable salt, but it's still salty. V2 snus is probably the lowest I'm familiar with. That's something you get used to after awhile, and you stop really noticing it; at least I did. After awhile instead of thinking "Wow, salty" when you put it in, you just think "Mmm... snus". I'd say just give it a bit of time.

I used to notice the salt only when I started snusing...

can hardly feel any now..... maybe some in Rodalacket and Ettan los

It just takes time. The longer you use it, the less you'll notice the salt, and you'll be able to pick up the different flavors of snus.

Most of the los that I use is definitely less salty than my favorite portions, but eventually you become used to it and it isn't as noticable.

Ok thanks all. Got some General Smooth in now and it's good. Will try Thunder/V2 lines at some point. Cheers.

I suppose I was lucky from the get go because each new snus I tried seemed radically different from the last. That is probably atypical but nevertheless the salt content of almost everything, with the notable exception of Grov Original portion, was not particularly objectionable. Oddly Grove White seems far less salty than the original and Grov Los is pure delight in all respects. No V2 product I have sampled, half a dozen at least, has seemed salty at all.

I find after using snus for awhile that the saltiness really isn't all that noticeable.

I stupidly bought a pack of cigarettes the other night as i feared my snus order wouldn't arrive for a couple of days - that may have been affecting my taste these last 2 days. The order arrived today despite the estimated arrival time so i'm happy i've got a nice stash now. Just need to use up these cigarettes.

Just keep snusing.

Put them in a ZipLoc bag in the freezer. Then you'll have cigarettes when you really want them, but won't have to buy any. A cigarette every so often isn't gonna kill you, regardless of what the zealots say ;^)

I went through that phase, the snus will win in the end

[SmokedEuro]

According to precious' poll....It always wins.
